| Hi Aris, Welcome to this week's edition of Smart Investing. The latest ASX companies dividends payment season is now in full swing, and that means ETF distributions will soon start flowing to eligible unitholders. ETF unitholders have two options with distributions: you can elect to have them paid into your bank account, or you can use the proceeds to buy more units in the same fund. Our lead article this week, The benefits of reinvesting ETF distributions, examines how the strategy of reinvesting can achieve higher compounding returns over the longer term. A related strategy to reinvesting distributions is dollar-cost averaging. Our second article, How dollar-cost averaging can help you build wealth, explains how it works and how you can set one up quite easily using the Vanguard Personal Investor Account 'Auto Invest' feature. Lastly, investors hunting for income often research the dividend yields of specific companies. Dividend yields are calculated by dividing a company’s prevailing share price by its declared annual dividend payment per share. Our third article, Avoid dividend yield traps, explains why high company yields can be a sign of underlying problems. | |
